Cinderella Ate My Daughter by Peggy Orenstein
3.0
For anyone raising a girl-child, this book is probably really reassuring. Each chapter reads like a parent's discovery of a new mine in the field that makes up today's media landscape and all the worries about navigating it. Disney princesses, Miley Cyrus (oh Miley--I wonder how much harder Orenstein is wringing her hands about Miley these days), the internet.
For anyone else, this book reads like a light introduction to a gender and women's studies' course on media. A smattering of statistics, a large handful of psychologists, and many many pages of the author's views. Interesting, but not nearly as in-depth as the topic could have.
